Narrative

The Disability Services (DS) Crisis team will work with you, your family, provider, and the important people in your life to learn what happens that leads you to be in crisis. We are not a permanent service, but we will work with you and your team to support you before, during and after crisis events. This team focusses on the person’s strengths and assists the team in communicating better. Our goal is to help build skills for your team to use when crises arise. This program is designed to divert unnecessary emergency service use, hospitalization and institutionalization. Another goal of the Crisis Team is to not just “fix” mental illness but to promote mental wellness in the lives of the people we serve. The Crisis Team uses a positive psychology, strengths-based approach with all the people we support. The main services offered by the program are:

• Systemic consultation
